One thing you can do in a Makefile is run commands. So you create a shell script, in your path, called rootdir, and in your makefile, run "rm -rf $(rootdir $BUILD_DIR)", or something like that. Or you'll have to do something like pre-define the build root, so that you can rm -rf it later. I would definitely doublecheck the response that the rootdir script can pass back, so you don't end up with a syntax error giving your script rm -rf /.
